FAQs

Is this filter street legal?

No, the PP1627 is not CARB legal and is intended for off-road or track use only.

How often should I clean the filter?

Cleaning frequency depends on your environment, but it is recommended to inspect it every 5,000 to 10,000 miles, or more frequently if used in dusty track conditions.

Do I need to tune my car after installing this?

Generally, a drop-in panel filter does not require a tune, but always consult with a professional tuner if you are concerned about your specific vehicle setup.

Can I use standard engine oil to re-oil the filter?

No, you must use specific Pipercross air filter oil to ensure proper filtration and protection.

Will this filter void my vehicle warranty?

While laws like the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act exist, modifying intake components can sometimes lead to issues with manufacturer powertrain warranties. Consult your vehicle's warranty handbook.

Troubleshooting

Engine feels hesitant after installation

Check that the filter is seated properly and there are no air leaks in the intake housing.

Check Engine Light (CEL) appears

Ensure the filter was not over-oiled, as excess oil can contaminate the mass airflow (MAF) sensor.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly better airflow than stock paper filters
  • Washable and reusable design saves money over time
  • Enhances throttle response and engine sound
  • High-quality construction for durability under performance conditions

Cons

  • Not CARB legal, restricted to off-road or track use
  • Requires periodic cleaning and re-oiling maintenance
  • May require engine management adjustments on highly tuned vehicles

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation of the PP1627 is straightforward: simply locate your vehicle's airbox, release the clips, remove the old paper filter, and drop in the Pipercross foam unit. Ensure the seal is flush against the airbox rim to prevent unfiltered air from bypassing the filter. To maintain the unit, remove the filter periodically and clean it using a dedicated Pipercross cleaning kit. Always allow the foam to dry completely before applying a light, even coat of performance air filter oil. Never over-oil the filter, as this can affect mass airflow (MAF) sensors. This filter is specific to certain vehicle applications, so please verify your engine model matches the PP1627 specifications before purchase.
